MAYO Propbietok CARL GOERCH i.. .Ewtor WASHINGTON,\nORTH CAROLINA, OCT. 4, 191?. Congratulation* to the News and Observer! Every one of iU para-, graphs on its editorial pap had some reference to make to the na tional political situation! We wish thut J. P. Morgan had ootne down riiis way. instead of going to Kn gland to arrange another loan. We would have liked to arrange som? thing like that for oum-lv?*. If a man driviug an auto is autoing, it seems to us that4he chap, putting the juice to a "Henry" might be Fording.? New Bern Srtn Jouraal. And we mipposo that the man at die wheel of a Dodge migtit l>e said to lie dodging. How about it ( A cork-screw, the bundle of which lK>n? the word "Brema^' was found off Washington a da v o^ two ago. It is generally believed that the submarine is now licing concealed at the bottom of the Pam lico. (Other paper-* please copy.) K1 FCTIOX FOHKv ASTS. f James Morgan, the celebrated political statistician. in an article published a few dava ago in the Uostou Herald on the movement* of the Progressive party, figures that Wilson will need only one out of six of the Third party vote to U*at {iughes, hut Hughe** will ne*d more than six *>ut seven Pri?gretjive? to l>eat Wilson. Mr. Morgan figures only on the combined vote of the Democrat*. Republican- and Progre>sivjn and on the popular vote, without reference to State*. He doe* not attempt to place 1,200.000 or so of independent or small party votes, which may control the result. The Wilson vote of 1012 was 0,293,000; the Roosevelt vote was) 4.119,000 and the Taft vote was 3,484.000, uud the total of all was! 13.890,000. The vote necessary for a majority is t5.U49,000. One-sixth of the Roosevelt vote is 085,010, Adding this to thej Wilson vote?0*293,000?the result is 0.978,010, a kittle more than! 28,000 above a majority. On the other hand, six-sevenths of the Roosevelt vote is 3,313,800.1 Adding this to the Taft vote of 3.484,000, we get 0,797,800, which isj 151.200 short of a majority. Mr. Hughes will need more than that J to get a majority. In round numbers. Mr. Hughes must get 3,500,-j 000 of the Roosevelt vote to get a safe majority and Mr. Wilson must] get about 700.000 of the Progressive vote. Of course then* are enough stray votes outside the Democratic, j Republican ami Progressive vote combined to upset these figures. The* biggest part of this vote is radical. APPROPRIATION* FOR COTTON GRADER. At their meeting Monday, the Umni of county commissioner* agreed to an appropriation of $300 for the purpose of securing a cot ton grader for Beaufort cmnty. The action is one worthy of com jnendntioii ami it supplies a long-felt want among the farmers of the county. The services of a cotton grader will help the farmers in a material way for petting a uniform grade on their crop and giving them the J satisfaction of knowing that the grade has Im^cii made by a man who> is employed bv the government and who has no interest in the sale J of the (jetton. It is now up to every fanner to avail himself of this privilege and to see that his cotton is graded by the government man before it is sent to market. HIE CAl'tSE OF THE LABOR TROUBLE. The I'nited States today faces a general state of unrest among the laboring classes. The railroad men have threatened to walk out, the street-ear men in various cities are striking, the milk men are'on a strike in Xew York, suit and coat workers have also been out and many other unions have threatened to go oif strike unless they are* paid higher wages. It is not difficult to discover the real reason for this general unrest. The above men?and others?simply cannot, live on the wajres they are getting. A street car conductor in New York city gets $2.25 a day. This makes $13.50 a week. Groceries, meats, clothing and everything olae has increased in price. The average man. with a family, cannot hope to live in New York on $13.50 a week without l?einp, mado to suffer a numlier of privations. He is almost forced to live in squalor. No wonder that there is a demand for higher wages to meet tl/b increased cost of fiving. Mem in other lines of work get even less money than the conductors. They might have l?eeti able to get along three or four years ago, but they cannot hope to do so now. ]>id someone say that we were more prosperous now than we have ever been l>efore? We fail to see it. The tailoring man's side we have already discussed. Now take the case of the farmer. It is true that he receives a better price for his crops, but what good does that do him ? He has to pay proportionately rtiore> for the things /that be is forced to buy. It is true that, the mills are receiving more money for their product? than ever before, hut they also have to pay mow for the raw material. It is true that fhe merchant sells <his goods at a big increase in price over a Tew years ago, but lie has to pay tftofl* for them when he goes to market to buy them. But in a way these three classes?the farmer, the factory man and the merchant?are protected. They have to pay out .more money, but they also take in more. Therefore, they manage to keep even. But the man who works for a salary is forced to PAY OUT MORE, while his ineome is the same as it always ha? fasadi Therefore he Toes on a strike for higher wages, ^ i tobacco as you never thought could be is yours to command quick as you buy some Prince Albert and fire-up a pipe or a home-made cigarette!
